Estimation Of P(X > Y) When X And Y Are Dependent Random Variables Using Different Bivariate Sampling Schemes, Hani M. Samawi, Amal Helu, Haresh Rochani, Jingjing Yin, Daniel Linder

Biostatistics: Faculty Publications

The stress-strength models have been intensively investigated in the literature in regards of estimating the reliability θ = P (X > Y) using parametric and nonparametric approaches under different sampling schemes when X and Y are independent random variables. In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating θ when (X, Y) are dependent random variables with a bivariate underlying distribution. The empirical and kernel estimates of θ = P (X > Y), based on bivariate ranked set sampling (BVRSS) are considered, when (X, Y) are paired dependent continuous random variables. The estimators obtained are compared to their counterpart, bivariate simple random …

Equivariant Formality Of Transversely Symplectic Foliations And Frobenius Manifolds, Yi Lin, Xiangdong Yang

Mathematical Sciences: Faculty Publications

Consider the Hamiltonian action of a compact connected Lie group on a transversely symplectic foliation whose basic cohomology satisfies the Hard Lefschetz property. We establish an equivariant formality theorem and an equivariant symplectic dδ-lemma in this setting. As an application, we show that there exists a natural Frobenius manifold structure on the equivariant basic cohomology of the given foliation. In particular, this result provides a class of new examples of dGBV-algebras whose cohomology carries a Frobenius manifold structure.

Lefschetz Contact Manifolds And Odd Dimensional Symplectic Geometry, Yi Lin

Mathematical Sciences: Faculty Publications

In the literature, there are two different versions of Hard Lefschetz theorems for a compact Sasakian manifold. The first version, due to Kacimi-Alaoui, asserts that the basic cohomology groups of a compact Sasakian manifold satisfies the transverse Lefschetz property. The second version, established far more recently by Cappelletti-Montano, De Nicola, and Yudin, holds for the De Rham cohomology groups of a compact Sasakian manifold. In the current paper, using the formalism of odd dimensional symplectic geometry, we prove a Hard Lefschetz theorem for compact K-contact manifolds, which implies immediately that the two existing versions of Hard Lefschetz theorems are mathematically …

The Log-Logistic Weibull Distribution With Applications To Lifetime Data, Broderick O. Oluyede, Susan Foya, Gayan Warahena-Liyanage, Shujiao Huang

Mathematical Sciences: Faculty Publications

In this paper, a new generalized distribution called the log-logistic Weibull (LLoGW) distribution is developed and presented. This distribution contain the log-logistic Rayleigh (LLoGR), log-logistic exponential (LLoGE) and log-logistic (LLoG) distributions as special cases. The structural properties of the distribution including the hazard function, reverse hazard function, quantile function, probability weighted moments, moments, conditional moments, mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, distribution of order statistics, L-moments and Renyi entropy are derived. Method of maximum likelihood is used to estimate the parameters of this new distribution. A simulation study to examine the bias, mean square error of the maximum likelihood estimators …

Stabilizing The Lorenz Flows Using A Closed Loop Quotient Controller, James P. Braselton, Yan Wu

Mathematical Sciences: Faculty Publications

In this study, we introduce a closed loop quotient controller into the three-dimensional Lorenz system. We then compute the equilibrium points and analyze their local stability. We use several examples to illustrate how cross-sections of the basins of attraction for the equilibrium points look for various parameter values. We then provided numerical evidence that with the controller, the controlled Lorenz system cannot exhibit chaos if the equilibrium points are locally stable.

Invertibility Of Submatrices Of The Pascal Matrix And Birkhoff Interpolation, Scott N. Kersey

Mathematical Sciences: Faculty Publications

The infinite upper triangular Pascal matrix is T = [( j )i] for 0 ≤ i, j. It is easy to see that any leading principle square submatrix is triangular with determinant 1, hence invertible. In this paper, we investigate the invertibility of arbitrary square submatrices Tr, c comprised of rows r = [r0, … , rm ] and columns c = c0 , … , cm[] of T. We show that Tr, c is invertible r ≤ c i.e., ri ≤ ci for i = 0, …, m(), or equivalently, iff all diagonal entries are nonzero. To prove this …

Fast Cycles Detecting In Non-Linear Discrete Systems, Dmitriy Dmitrishin, Elena Franzheva, Alexander M. Stokolos

Mathematical Sciences: Faculty Publications

In the paper below we consider a problem of stabilization of a priori unknown unstable periodic orbits in non-linear autonomous discrete dynamical systems. We suggest a generalization of a non-linear DFC scheme to improve the rate of detecting T-cycles. Some numerical simulations are presented.

From Chaos To Order Through Mixing, Dmitriy Dmitrishin, I. M. Skrinnik, Alexander M. Stokolos

Mathematical Sciences: Faculty Publications

In this article we consider the possibility of controlling the dynamics of nonlinear discrete systems. A new method of control is by mixing states of the system (or the functions of these states) calculated on previous steps. This approach allows us to locally stabilize a priori unknown cycles of a given length. As a special case, we have a cycle stabilization using nonlinear feedback. Several examples are considered.
